9 Pa tsiku lachisanu ndi chitatu Mose anayitana Aaroni, ana ake ndi akuluakulu a Aisraeli. ² Ndipo anawuza Aaroni kuti, “Tenga mwana wangʼombe wamwamuna kuti akhale nsembe yako yopepesera machimo ndi nkhosa yayimuna kuti ikhale nsembe yopsereza. Zonsezi zikhale zopanda chilema ndipo uzipereke pamaso pa Yehova. ³ Kenaka uwawuze Aisraeli kuti, ‘Tengani mbuzi yayimuna kuti ikhale nsembe yopepesera machimo. Mutengenso mwana wangʼombe ndi mwana wankhosa. Zonsezi zikhale za chaka chimodzi ndi zopanda chilema kuti zikhale nsembe yopsereza. ⁴ Mutengenso ngʼombe yayimuna ndi nkhosa yayimuna kuti zikhale nsembe yachiyanjano zoti ziperekedwe pamaso pa Yehova. Pamodzi ndi izi mubwerenso ndi nsembe yachakudya yosakaniza ndi mafuta pakuti lero Yehova akuonekerani.’ ”
